The tension settled in the Matos household, among the walls that witnessed joys and now faced challenges. Isabel, Emanoel, Antônio, and Dante, the children of Helena and Bruno, attended school together, but the differences in Dante's behavior became increasingly evident.While Isabel, Emanoel, and Antônio maintained exemplary academic performance, Dante was a constant cause for concern. Helena, in her tireless quest for understanding, made frequent visits to the school, trying to explain that the loss of Dante's biological mother might be causing these behavioral deviations.However, meetings with the teachers and the principal brought no good news. Dante continued to cause problems, getting involved in inappropriate situations. One day, after another call from the school, Helena decided it was time to have a serious conversation with Bruno. She was busy finishing washing the dishes while Bruno, focused, analyzed the crop quotations from the farm.Helena, determined, dried her hands a

The air in the room had grown heavy with the increasing tension between Helena and Bruno. Helena, still reeling from Bruno's sudden decision, looked him straight in the eyes, trying to find a way to make him understand.“You can't just make this decision unilaterally, Bruno,” said Helena, her voice trembling slightly. “Dante is part of this family, and I have a role to play in his life too.”Bruno remained unwavering in his stance, his expression serious and determined. “Dante is my son, Helena. I decide what's best for him. And it's better for him to come live with me on the farm.”Helena felt a wave of frustration and despair. “It's not just about what you want, Bruno. It's about what's best for Dante. He's adjusting here, with his siblings, with me. You'll completely destabilize him if you take him away from here so suddenly.”Bruno sighed, appearing impatient. “Don't give me this sentimental talk, Helena. Dante is my son, and I know what's best for him. You said you wanted me to t

Helena and Bruno walked back to the farm headquarters in silence, each immersed in their own thoughts. The sun was beginning to set, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink as they approached the main house.Upon reaching the porch of the headquarters, Helena took a deep breath before turning to Bruno. She knew she needed to address the issue of Dante again.“Bruno,” Helena began, her voice cautious. “I... need to take Dante back to stay with his siblings. I don't think it's fair for him to stay here on the farm.”Bruno nodded, understanding Helena's concerns. However, before he could respond, Dante approached them, his face determined.“I don't want to leave, Mom,” Dante said, his voice firm and resolute. “I want to stay here with Dad.”Helena and Bruno exchanged surprised looks, not expecting Dante's sudden determination.“Dante...” Helena started, her voice uncertain. “Are you sure about this? Don't you think it would be better to be with your siblings in Cuiabá?”Dante shook

The distant roar of thunder echoed across the vast fields of the farm as Helena departed, leaving behind a cloud of tension and uncertainty. Bruno stood at the entrance of the farmhouse, watching her vanish into the distance, a tightness of worry in his chest. As the thunderclaps ripped through the sky, heralding the imminent arrival of the storm, Bruno felt a cold shiver run down his spine. He knew Helena was leaving at a bad time, but the idea of letting her go in those weather conditions filled him with anxiety. Without wasting time, Bruno rushed inside the house and reached for the phone in the living room. His fingers trembled slightly as he dialed Helena's number, desperately wishing she would pick up. He needed to talk to her, to convince her to come back before the storm unleashed its fury. As he anxiously waited for the call to connect, Dante appeared at the door, looking curiously at Bruno. Their eyes met, filled with silent concern. “What's going on, Dad?” Dante asked, n

Helena was stunned by Bruno's words, her eyes wide with disbelief reflecting her doubt about the situation. She couldn't believe what she was hearing, as if the words had been forcibly ripped from her chest with devastating force.“Divorce?” she repeated, her voice almost a whisper. “Are you serious, Bruno?”Bruno lowered his gaze, unable to meet the whirlwind of emotions he saw in Helena's eyes. He felt a lump forming in his throat, the pain of the decision weighing heavy on his heart.“Yes, Helena,” he finally replied, his voice choked with sadness. “I'm so sorry, but... I think it's for the best for both of us.”Helena felt a tightness in her chest, a sharp pain piercing her heart. She struggled to hold back the tears threatening to overflow from her eyes, her world crumbling before her.“Why, Bruno?” she asked, her voice trembling with the intensity of her emotions. “What did I do wrong?”Bruno sighed, the pain reflected in every fiber of his being. He wished he could explain to H

Helena felt a lump forming in her throat as she listened to Bruno's words. It was difficult to accept that everything was falling apart so rapidly. She glanced at the children in the back seat, feeling a pang in her heart at the thought of the impact the separation would have on them.As Bruno helped Helena out of the truck, she felt her body tense, the sensation of stepping on unstable ground. She followed Bruno into the living room, where she sat on one of the sofas, looking around at the house that used to be their home.“How were the days without me here?” Helena asked, trying to keep her voice steady despite the storm of emotions within her.Bruno sighed, sitting in an armchair across from her. His face looked tired, burdened with the weight of the decisions he had made.“They were difficult,” he admitted, his gaze meeting Helena's. “You're missed here, Helena. More than I ever imagined.”Helena lowered her gaze, feeling a mix of sadness and resentment. She didn't want to be the

The bustling atmosphere of the airport contrasted with the emotional weight she carried in her heart.As they reached the arrival gate, they were greeted by Marcelo, Helena's brother, whom she had invited to help her during this difficult transition. Helena smiled upon seeing him and thanked him for being there to support her.“Thank you for coming, Marcelo. Your presence will make all the difference,” she said, gratitude evident in her voice.Marcelo hugged Helena and the children, promising to stand by them throughout the divorce process. Then, he mentioned he had a surprise, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.“Wait a moment, I have something to show you,” Marcelo said, stepping away briefly.As they waited, Helena exchanged worried glances with her children, wondering what Marcelo had in mind.
